"right."

"Aren't there just a few of us? What's going on with those people outside?"

"I don't know, maybe someone else is hosting the banquet."

"Will the noble man really come?"

"Of course, I'm familiar with the nobles, and they have promised to come over at noon. When they arrive later, they will talk about some things first. Then someone will call you. You guys go out and propose a toast. Thank you, Mr. Changshi, for your help.

Just say whatever you want."

"oh……"

"Why is Xiaoxuan carrying an ink stick?"

"newly bought."

"Oh, I thought I was going to give it to Mr. Changshi. In fact, you don't need to give anything. Mr. Changshi lacks nothing. You might as well not give it as a gift. It's all that matters. For nobles, being sincere and honest is the right way to get along. I understand.

."

"Understood, it's not a gift for a noble person."

"That's good. Children can be taught."

Pei Shisanniang chatted with Huang Xuan in the box.

But what she didn't know was that in the hall downstairs, there was a young man in Taoist robes with a paralyzed face. Ever since Huang Xuan and his daughter arrived at this building, he had been sitting at a table in the corner of the hall, drinking tea and listening to music.

Almost two hours.

It can be said that it is a cup of tea, and for a whole morning, I have to step on the threshold of the minimum consumption, and I will die without paying an extra copper plate.

If it weren't for the fact that the owner always emphasizes politeness and must not drive away any paying customers, the waiter in charge of the tables on the first floor would really like to kick this poor, ugly, paralyzed guy out.

Just before noon, when the luncheon at Xunyang Tower was about to begin, the waiter finally got an excuse to clear the hall. He turned around, grabbed a menu, and ran over happily, ready to chase people away. When he came back, his expression was stunned.

live.

The figure of the paralyzed young man in Taoist robes has disappeared.

The waiter looked at the empty seats and couldn't help but mutter:

"You have a lot of eyesight... Hey, why don't you swallow the tea leaves too? You're so shameless."

I saw that the tea cup on the table had not even a drop left, only a few chewed tea leaves left. The waiter in the tea shop put it away with a look of disgust.

Move quickly, because today, a group of the richest Yangzhou businessmen in Xunyang City are going to entertain the famous Jiangzhou Governor. It seems to be a charity banquet. It is said that the Yangzhou businessmen feel the personality charm of Mr. Changshi.

Together with Dundun's teachings, he decided to donate money to the poor people in Xingzifang to solve their very worrying living conditions.

Although the waiter in the shop didn't understand why these stingy businessmen suddenly felt enlightened and donated money in kind, it didn't stop him from earning a tip and a silver reward today. Even a drop of oil and water dripping from the fingers of these wealthy businessmen could feed an ordinary person for half a year.

News of the charity luncheon seems to have spread throughout the west of the city, and there are so many distinguished guests coming to the banquet. Today, the lobby will be filled with tables and tables.

The waiter quickly forgot about his prostitution and picked up the pieces faster, not daring to slack off the upcoming big shots...

Ouyang Rong finished handling his morning business and went directly to the back door of Jiangzhou lobby.

A carriage from Prince Xunyang's Mansion parked quietly at the door. It looked like it had been waiting for a long time.

Ouyang Rong had just arranged a noon banquet with Pei Shisanniang in the morning. Ouyang Rong immediately sent someone to the Prince Xunyang's Mansion to inform his junior sister, calling her over and gathering to go.

Ouyang Rong boarded the carriage and saw his junior sister sitting by the window, with a familiar bamboo basket on her knees, which contained poems, red leaves and a folding fan.

Before he got into the car, she seemed to be reading the poems on the red leaves with her eyes lowered. The autumn sunshine shone on a flawless side face, giving her a sense of tranquility of time.

"Big brother."

"Have you been waiting for a long time? Didn't you ask the messenger to tell you to come later?"

"It's okay. I have to come here early. It just so happens that I have nothing to do in the morning."

"oh."

The two chatted for a while, and then the carriage started slowly and drove towards Xunyang Tower by the river.

They all packed lightly and went to the banquet.

Ouyang Rong wore a felt hat and had changed out of his crimson official uniform in the morning. He was dressed the same as yesterday, keeping everything simple.

On the carriage going forward, he explained the lunch banquet to Xie Lingjiang, but the latter didn't care and just listened to his arrangements.

Just as the carriage approached a street not far from Xunyang Tower, it suddenly braked and the coachman made a sound. The carriage seemed to have been stopped. Ouyang Rong frowned, opened the curtain, and took a look outside.

"What happened...Friend Lu Dao?"

Lu Ya got on the car without changing his expression, sat down unceremoniously in front of Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang, and suddenly asked a question that was beyond their expectations:

"Mr. Ouyang, thank you, Taoist friend, where is the Pei Shisanniang who invited you two to lunch, and what is her business?"
